There was a site posted a while back , I believe but it was posted by Johnnyanglo (but I was wrong once before when I thought I made an error) , that was a country wide compilation of geological soil types and may have contained a key to mineralization. I'm not sure how to do a search for it but perhaps a pm to him might be appropriate.

I thought the proximity of the post to JFK's 50th was too much of a coincidence,,,,,should've dug that one.

Is this a rhetorical question or a pop quiz? You're forcing us to guess your intent here as the clause you're referring to encompasses numerous facets of government empowerment.
The simplest response is that Art. 1 Sec.10 is to the Federal Gov. what the 10th Amendment is to State Gov. in terms of supremecy in the matters delineated in the clause. A personal favorite of mine is

I have toyed with the larger coil dilemma for a while myself on both the 75 and the e-trac , more for coverage than for depth. Depth is always a problem here as the soil often runs with GB numbers in the low 90's and I doubt the larger coil would punch much deeper in this type of dirt.

What ground balance numbers do you get in your soil with the T2 and is it analogous to the GB numbers one gets on another FT product like a F75?
My feeling is you will indeed get more ground coverage but not necessarily more depth.

Determining the targets composition using conductance has an unavoidable Achilles heal---the dirt.
It's like the ineffeciency of high energy lasers in a hazy atmosphere.
Simply folding a pulltab on either axis changes it's conductivity,,,the number of numbers is irrelavent
The breakthrough in detector technology we all look for will be in using something besides conductivity to dete

I'm not familiar with your story but since you're here it must be inspirational. I think these people would be happy to help you get your story out. Inspiration is one of their strongest suits.Send them a simple e-mail and see where it goes---can't hurt.

I'm glad there's clad. It's a great teacher. It can pay for your gas. It's a great excercise/conditioner for the legs. That's the half full side.
Clad has to be removed , including the zincs. It masks the good stuff below which I prove to myself on most outings.
The best clue clad gives is the number of nickels--great indicator of the quality of the detectorists that ha

You're straight now ozzie , not that there's anything wrong with that.
I shipped a pin pointer back to Garrett the other day by UPS for the standard rate--the $100 insurance was close enough to cover a loss that I wasn't going to buy more, although one could arggue that a broken pointer isn't worth a $100 except that it was still on warranty. I shippped a used DFX to Idaho a

I have a friend that lost a substantial portion of a shipment from APMEX through the USPS last year. The tracking system failed with it's real time responsibility shortly after the package arrived at USPS and the last I heard the red tape they were throwing at both APMEX as well as my friend was exemplary of government obfuscation.

Check on-line for a prospecting club in your area. Possible you could approach a member who has something along the lines of what you need and would be willing to sell . Rule of thumb is three times spot for nuggets but I personally think that's just a sellers wishful thinking. 2 grams is only about 30 grains is if I remember right which isn't much of a nugget to be commanding that type

Why do discretion and common sense get thrown to the wind under these circumstances? Are our egos that difficult to control? Is it ego or stupidity that sends the IRS a message to come and investigate? With pictures no less!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

An interesting tale about the clad quarter.
My father who was an electrical engineer for IBM back in those days would often have to go on seminar trips from the West to NY , White Plains I assume. On one such occasion , while frequenting a local watering hole in the evening , they discovered that the TV in the bar could be made to switch channels by dropping one of the new quarters on the bar to

Not old age but the same psychological issue people have when they leave their house and begin to question if they locked the doors. For me it's the overhead garage door--same for my bride. I jokingly will ask her if we put the door down after we've left to go some where and only steadfast reassurance will dissuade her from having to go and check. I invariably question whether I put up

Well , there's nothing more disturbing than hearing someone with a thick yankee accent spouting off "We're the best" , and unfortunately that appears to be the tag line for the show. It's all down hill from there. Egos are more predominant than common sense when you film yourself in a canoe on choppy water while not wearing a life preserver---I know the film crew was the

I'll be interested to see how this goes as you get more familiar with it. As I recall your objection with the 75ltd was the amount of junk you dug which I have found to be true when comparing it to the e-trac.
I have learned to live with the 75's shortcomings in that department and just ignore the trash numbers in public parks and such---especially when it comes to low conductors. I l

Sorry ,but I've yet to hear that accent come from anyone that didn't reek of East Coast liberal elitism. Like I said , I'll reserve judgement until I see the show but if they drive to their detecting site in a Volvo , it's not going to make it to the first commercial!!!!!!

It's going to be tough looking past that yankee accent but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt until they prove to be no different than the rest of the dorks doing these shows.
